    Ya I was in the same boat (no pun intended haha) my 230 is great and have the system and lighting all done to my likings but the g is just in a whole new level. It's funny you say that I have driven a few sports cars and I hated the Lamborghini to but there is something to be said for pulling up somewhere in it everyone loves to look at it it's a beautiful car but wouldn't be my first choice ! Drove a 458 spider in Miami but just on the a1a so never got to get the full experience but I loved the car. Hopefully one day ill have one of my own but for now ill enjoy my friends haha

      I should recant this statement haha I didn't hate it it was still awesome but if I were going to buy an exotic sports car it wouldn't be that ! I would however like to drive the new lp 700 !! Just had to clarify that !

          At the end of the day, I basically couldn't spend an entire summer seeing the new X-Star and the G23. We put almost 200 hours a year on the engine, so we're out a LOT, and I decided to go ahead and jump in and see what the G23 experience is all about. I've ridden behind and driven 230's and (no offense) strongly disliked them. Never found one thing about them I liked better than my X-Star. The G definitely changed that, and I'm very happy about it. Although I feel the G and new X-Star are both amazing boats, in the end I decided to give the G a shot as it had just enough extra going for it over the 2013 X-Star (IMHO).

          458 is in a whole different world compared to the F430. I'm not, how should I say it, "special" enough yet for the Ferrari dealership to sell me a new 458 at MSRP. You have to earn that ranking and I'm still working on it which sucks.
          Lamborghini simply doesn't build the same level of car as Ferrari and several others. I'm not a nameplate guy at all, I just want the best and get to experience as much as I can. The GT-R is a world class machine you can get brand new for well under $100,000 and it puts to shame most vehicles that cost twice as much. But even then it still lacks the soul of a Ferrari. Like I mentioned before, they are completely different driving experiences.

            I don't know of any G25's that will be on Bridgeport, but I'll check with Phil when I pick up my G and see if he's sold any more out my way.
            My good friend just got a 2013 X-Star and he's like me, loves to meet up and hang out. He's on Lake Arlington. I know he'd love to get a couple of G's out there with his X-Star and make a day or weekend out of it. Just a thought since he's about the halfway point for us both.

              When we specked out our G23 order we decided against the sun pad filler because we have only used the 230 one once!

                We rarely used our sun deck on the 230 but are considering ordering one for the G23. At $600+, probably not. If parked on the lake, we like to use floats and the G will give us the storage to do it. For a lot less than $600 we can get some high quality floats.
